The only people who dont have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. Most communities have at least one. We call them cemeteries. If youre breathing, you have difficulties. Its the way of life. And believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain.Maybe you have heard the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1,800 miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef. On one tour, a traveler asked the guide an interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon (瀉湖) side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colorful," the traveler observed. Why is this?The guide gave an interesting answer, "The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, with no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves and storms. It has to fight for its survival every day. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and adapts. It grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces." Then he added, “Thats the way it is with every living organism.”Thats how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral pounded by the sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency. Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness. So, you have problems? No problem! Just tell yourself, "There I grow again!"Remember: A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.21. Who has no problems according to the passage?A. The persons who are very famous. B. The persons who have much money.C. The persons who have been born. D. The persons who are living in the cemeteries.22. In the writers opinion, _.A. problems bring us much troubleB. problems have two sides, good or badC. we should try to stay away from any troubleD. the fewer things we do, the less trouble well meet23. The reason why lagoon side of the reef has no life is _.A. it hasnt got any sunlight B. it has less energy than othersC.it never faces any challenge and tests D. it has no work to do every day24. After reading this passage, we should _.A. regard any problem as challenge B. learn from the lagoon sideC. worry your problem D. enter into cemeteriesBA study of more than five million books, both fiction and non-fiction, has found a marked decline in the use of emotional words over time. The researchers form the University of Bristol used Google Ngram Viewer, a facility for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books, to search for more than 600 particular words identified as representing anger, dislike, fear, joy, sadness and surprise.They found that almost all of the categories showed a drop in these “mood words” over time. Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage.“It is a steady and continuous decrease,” said Dr Alberto Acerbi. He assumed that the result might be explained by a change in the position occupied by literature, in a crowded media landscape. “One thing could be that in parallel to books the 20th century saw the start of other media. Maybe these media movies, radio, drama, had more emotional content than books.”Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend, the research, published in the journal PLOS One, found that they also exhibited another interesting behaviour：the ratio (比率) between the two varied greatly, apparently mirroring historical events.During the Roaring Twenties the joy-to-sadness ratio reached a peak that would not occur again until before the recent financial crash. But the ratio plunged at the height of the Second World War. Nevertheless, the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their result reflected wider social trends. In the paper, they even argue that the reverse could be true.“It has been suggested, for example, that it was the suppression (壓抑) of desire in ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writing filled with romance and sex perhaps,” they conclude, “songs and books may not reflect the real population any more than catwalk models reflect the average body.”25. The word "decline" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to_. A. increaseB. riseC. decreaseD. change26. A study of more than five million books indicated a decrease in “mood words” over time except_. A. in the use of the words of historical events B. in the category of fear C. in the category of literature D. in the category of joy27. Whats the main idea of this passage? A. A study of emotional words. B. A study about vocabulary in literature.C. Reasons for the use of emotional words decreases in literature. D. A study on increase in the category of fear.CNEMSNEWRI Environmental Master of ScienceNEWRI: Nanyang Environment & Water Research InstituteBe a leader in environmental science and engineeringthrough the NEMS programmeNEWRI Environmental Master of Science (NEMS) is a primary graduate education and research programme conducted by Nanyang Technological Universitys (NTUs) NEWRI, with summer attachment at Stanford University.

Colbert County, located in the northwest corner of the state, has its share of exciting stories and claims to statewide fame. The county was created on February 6, 1867, and Tuscumbia became the county seat (the town in which the offices of the county government are located). One of the most famous residents of Tuscumbia was Helen Keller. Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880. Her home was a white frame cottage built by her grandparents. Since ivy (常春藤) grew everywhere, the house was called Ivy Green. It was here, at the water pump in the backyard, that Keller learned the word “w-a-t-e-r” with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan. Visitors to Ivy Green can walk under boxwood trees that are 150 years old. The home has furniture that the Keller family used. It also has Kellers Braille (盲文) books and her original Braille typewriter. Spring Park is Tuscumbias most popular park and favorite tourist attraction. This park has the worlds largest manufactured waterfall called Coldwater Falls. The Spring Park Light and Water Show is an amazing sight to see. It takes place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at sundown. The water appears to dance to music and colored lights. The music played during the show is recorded by singers and musicians from Alabama. Fame Recording Studios is in the city of Muscle Shoals in Colbert County. The studio is the first successful recording studio in Alabama. It is best known for creating “Southern rock,” “Southern soul,” and “county soul.” Well-known performers like Aretha Franklin and musical groups such as Alabama and Lynyrd have made recordings at this studio. Visitors can continue to explore music in Alabama by visiting the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia. Built in 1990, this site recognizes the musical talents of more than 500 Alabama residents in a wide variety of musical styles, including country and rhythm and blues.
